Chapter 957: Fighting Hard and Protecting Each Other

When Lucas saw Florence’s action, his face was full of surprise!

Although he had already noticed that Florence had changed a lot compared to before, her current actions were still far beyond Lucas’s expectations, causing him to be shocked.

“Get lost!” Damien was caught off guard by Florence hugging his calf. He flew into a rage and lifted his other foot to stomp on her head.

A terrifying expert like Damien could easily crush a stone with his foot, let alone a weak woman like Florence who didn’t know any martial arts.

Florence felt a ferocious aura overwhelming her from above, and her instinctive fear made her close her eyes.

But she didn’t flinch or retreat while hugging Damien’s calf.

The only thing she wanted to do now was to hold Damien’s leg tightly and hinder him to buy Lucas time to escape!

Lucas was her daughter’s husband. He definitely couldn’t die here!

Seeing Damien’s terrifying foot about to stomp on Florence’s head, a figure suddenly rushed over and kicked Damien’s chest!

Bang!

Under the impact of the immense force, Damien took several steps back.

He regained his balance, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the young man in front of him.

The others present gawked at the figure who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to kick Damien, making him retreat several meters.

Who else could it be other than Lucas?

Florence was already prepared to die, but there was now a sudden change in the situation. Damien’s calves, which she was holding, suddenly retracted, and the terrifying stomp didn’t touch her.

She opened her eyes apprehensively and found that she was still lying on the ground while Lucas was standing in front of her, facing off against the terrifying expert Damien.

In this instant, tears welled up in Florence’s eyes.

She had rarely been protected like this in her life.

The last time she was saved from a desperate situation was more than twenty years ago, when she had just met Cheyenne’s biological father, Drew Cruise.

“As I said earlier, I came to the Howards’ today to keep you alive. I’m a man of my word!” Lucas’s calm yet resolute voice came from above Florence’s head.

Florence’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. Immediately afterward, a long-lost warm and fuzzy feeling flooded her heart.

Although Lucas didn’t have a good relationship with her and had yet to accept that she was his mother-in-law, the fact was that he had saved her from the brink of death twice tonight.

Even the Howards and her father, whom she had lived with for decades, didn’t extend a helping hand to her when they saw her in danger and on the brink of death. All they cared about were their own interests and had no regard for her.

Yet Lucas, her son-in-law, whom she obviously wasn’t on good terms with and had met only a few times, was actually willing to come to the Howard residence to save her despite knowing that an expert had laid a trap here.

And now, what Lucas just said made Florence feel a strong urge to cry.

It turned out that there were still some people who didn’t want her to die.

Her daughter and her son-in-law didn’t want her to die.

At this moment, Florence wished that she could see Cheyenne so that she could apologize to her properly.

Jordan also stepped forward and stared at Damien with a strong battle intent in his eyes. “Lucas, let me deal with him!”

During the previous battle with Hades, Jordan had finally broken through his bottleneck, and his strength had risen to another level. So despite knowing that Damien was tough to deal with, he still wanted to try and see if he could deal with him.

Lucas shook his head and said lightly, “You are not his match yet.”

His words immediately made Jordan understand that even though his strength had increased to another level, he still wasn’t a match for Damien.

In this regard, Jordan didn’t feel frustrated or reluctant. After all, Damien was already in his forties or fifties. Moreover, he was also the chief of the Peerless Martial Association’s US headquarters. He had terrifying strength, and it was normal for Jordan to be inferior to him.

Thus, Jordan stopped talking and obediently retreated behind Lucas.

At this moment, Damien rubbed his chest that was still a little numb from the kick, and he looked at Lucas with a cautious gaze. “You’re Lucas Gray, right? What exactly is your identity?”

When he asked about Lucas previously, all the Howards subconsciously turned to look at the young man in the middle. So Damien immediately knew that this slender young man was the target he wanted to find.

But Damien was honestly a little disappointed when he saw Lucas.

Reason being, he heard that several experts of the Peerless Martial Association, Julian, Dwayne, and even Hades, had all been killed by Lucas.

When he really saw Lucas, he discovered that he was just an extremely ordinary-looking young man in his twenties, making Damien feel disappointed.

But just now, the terrifying speed and strength that Lucas had burst out with in an instant made Damien feel an immense pressure that came from the depths of his soul.

The terrifying strength and pressure actually emerged from a young man in his twenties. It made Damien, the knowledgeable chief of the Peerless Martial Association’s US headquarters, feel slightly shocked.

Damien refused to believe that this young man didn’t come from a powerful background.

Lucas stood in place and said indifferently, “My identity isn’t important. But are you sure that you want to kill me and all the Howards?”

He stood still calmly. But somehow, there seemed to be a powerful aura pressing down on Damien, as if Lucas was a mountain.

Many of the Howards had looks of anticipation and respect.

Lucas was now their only hope!

At this moment, the Howards had long forgotten how they had just wanted Lucas to die on the spot. But now, they saw him as their savior.

Life was clearly unpredictable.

Florence’s eyes also showed some surprise.

Just now, the only thing on her mind had been that Lucas had saved her from dying, and she hadn’t paid attention to his combat power.

She initially thought that Lucas would definitely be no match for Damien, so she didn’t hesitate to sacrifice her life to stall for some time to let Lucas escape.

But based on the current situation, Lucas didn’t seem weak at all. He might really be on par with Damien!

“I’m really very curious about your identity. Is there something you can’t say?”

After Lucas spoke, everyone thought that Damien might be enraged. But to their surprise, Damien suddenly smiled, and the killing intent on his face instantly vanished. Instead, he smiled and began talking to Lucas.

The scene made many people puzzled.
